...If given more opportunity hypothetically.
These actors have set foot in BW, so this topic is technically valid.😉

Tellywood and BW dynamics r diff. If we just ignore the nepotism in BW.
In a tv series, an actor gets at least 20 episodes to get clicked with the viewers.. who r watching it home in comfort for free. Once that character is developed and the actor's acting is matched with it... its a sleep walk for that actor for rest of series. There can be so many dull and stpd episodes inbetween.. a young man or woman can even become parents to grown up kids without looking any older. Its basically timepass stuff and so the viewers r not so harsh critics but they start loving (or hating) the character and think of the actor is the best thing on the screen.

In BW movies, u only have 2 to 3 hours to make an impact with all other co-stars. Screen presence to dancing skills come in equation. Not saying its impossible but its a totally diff. platform. But I agree therez enormous amounts of talents on TV that can make some of these BW stars look like shit.

Nepotism in BW is a serious issue. It has almost become like LARGE family business. It sux. Some of the so-called stars wont even a chaparsi role in a TV series if they were not connected to BW.

It doesnt seem like it will change soon... BW fans r already wondering which star kid (o-15 years old) will become a future superstar... hello? Welcome to 21st century.

BW is a different ball game..Talent, good looks or fan following on TV dosen't guarantee success in Bollywood. You need the right connections, scripts, big banners ,PR etc. Honestly, I dont see any of them as next superstars.
Raajev is unlucky, Viraf and Mohit..good actors but seem least interested in BW. Barun's not ambitious enough n chooses wrong films..while the others lack overall potential.

None ..TV actors can only stay or survive in TV industry only ..
Just look at Barun he was extremely popular in TV but what happened he flopped in BW
KSG did some movie Lorie but it didn't even released and Alone only worked because of bipasha ..in hate story 3 he will be just playing a side role ...I think you got my point

Seconded. That's why I am asking, in a truly Utopian world, which of these have the potential to make it big? I for one, don't discriminate between tv and movies for I think it's the art that matters first and foremost. But hey, this is just for fun. 😉

Mohit, Viraf, and Gautam are my choices. They are too TOOO brilliant as actors and are amazing people in reality.
